About ElderWare: Story Work and Aging in the mid-21st Century
My podcast is about getting older and sharing stories, and the ways in which technology will impact this work in the near future. On it you’ll hear a mix of conversations with authorities and experts in a range of fields, conversations with reports from my own experimentation with new apps, bots and tools.You should listen if you are interested in the future of getting older and the stories we will have to tell.

Episode 21 - Xanthe Golenko on Intergenerational Care in Australia
My guest is Xanthe Golenko, an Australian researcher, practitioner, and now storytelling facilitator based in France. Xanthe came to this work through an unlikely path — nine years as a professional dancer, a detour into business and healthcare research, a PhD in organizational culture in public hospitals, and then a fateful introduction to intergenerational practice that, as she puts it, just hooked her. What she witnessed — the bonds, the joy, the transformation in people who had been reduced to a diagnosis or a room number — changed the direction of her professional life.

Episode 20 - Pia Kontos
Dr. Pia Kontos is a senior scientist at the KITE Research Institute at the University of Toronto, and her life's work is challenging the idea that dementia means the self is gone. Drawing on embodiment theory, she argues that agency, humor, creativity, and relationship persist through the body even in severe cognitive impairment — and she builds the evidence for that argument through documentary film, research-based theater, and dance programs that put people living with dementia at the center of their own stories.
